What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNeurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) is an adaptive ventilation mode that recognizes electromyographic diaphragmatic activation as a sensory input to control the ventilator. NAVA may be of interest in prolonged mechanical ventilation and weaning, as it provides effort-adapted support, improves patient-ventilator synchronization, and allows additional monitoring of neuromuscular function and drive. Ventricular assist devices (VAD), especially for the left ventricle (LVAD), are increasingly entering clinical practice, and intensivists are faced with distinct challenges such as the interaction between the system and other measures of organ support. CASE PRESENTATION: We present two cases in which a NAVA mode was intended to support ventilator weaning in patients with recent LVAD implantation (HeartMate III DISCUSSION/
conclusionsAn implanted LVAD can render the NAVA signal unusable for ventilatory support because the LVAD signal can interfere with the recording of electromyographic activation of the diaphragm. Therefore, patients with implanted LVAD may need other modes of ventilation than NAVA for advanced weaning strategies.
